But successfully getting your money in order has as much to do with who you are as what you’re trying to do.

Translation: What works for someone else might not for you, and if you’re trying to conform to a system that’s not in tune with your personality, you’re going to have a harder time staying on track.

That’s why we decided to delve into the psychology behind the four most common money personas—and then asked finance and organization pros to offer advice on how each type can hone their strengths and weaknesses to get their financial life in better, well, order.

So whether you’re a stockpiler or a perfectionist, balancing your budget and marshalling your money life just got a little easier. Trust us.

The psychology of money mirrors the psychology of time, career, relationships,etc. When you’re head isn’t clear, it’s hard to make good choices. What I like about this article are the easy how-to’s to help with that. I came under both the “procrastinator” and “avoider” under certain pressures. There’s a website, http://www.optimindshaping.com,, which offers an extremely helpful resource to help de-clutter the mind, so that you have more clarity in pretty much everything you take on and do.
